Live Science was originally made in 2004. It was acquired by TechMediaNetwork, later called Purch, in 2009.cite-ref-purch-2-0[2] Purch consumer brands (including Live Science) were acquired by Future in 2018. cite-ref-3[3]

In 2011, the Columbia Journalism Review's "News Startups Guide" called Live Science "a purebred Web animal, primarily featuring one-off stories and photo galleries produced at high speed by its mostly young staffers, almost all of whom have journalism degrees," noting that, "If you are looking for resource-intensive expositions of global warming, for instance, or thickly narrated journeys into the research process, LiveScience [sic] will disappoint. The site carries the big science news of the day, but its strength lies in the quirky diversity of its other content–oddball studies overlooked by major news organizations."cite-ref-4[4]
